Coopered-Top Banjo Cabinet

This cabinet was the final project for my Into to Woodworking class at Red Rocks Community College. I needed a decent place to keep my banjo, and this is the design that resulted. The primary wood is Sassafras with Walnut accent pieces, and African Mahogany ply in the side panels. The top is a coopered panel, which was tricky, but a lot of fun to build. I hope you all like it.

No humidity control, as the cabinet is not air-tight. It stays pretty dry out here in Colorado, and I haven’t noticed any issues. I am considering adding a top-light, but I haven’t found the right fixture. Thank you for the comments.
